The subject gun on Gunbroker has been on there for a LONG time. Not sure why. The gun has some condition and the price is not terribly out of whack, i think.
The lock "engraving" is actual roll stamping. Grade ones had this for a short time as Parker was playing with the use of it. It did not last terribly long.

I learn something every day. Never seen that roll stamped sideplate before, but the GunAuction listing is identical, if in much poorer shape. Thanks for the input.

Nice gun, a bit close to the high end of pricing. Gauge? Is the seller sure it is a 12?

"very nice 12ga Parker Bros Lifter Hammer Gun, 0 grade, #2 Frame, 30" Damascus twist steel barrels, drop at comb 2", heel 3", lop 14 3/8" front trigger, 13 1/2" rear trigger, weight 8 1/2 lbs. #s match, appears to be all original."
Rarely does a GB description give you all that, just missing wall thickness and choke constriction to be a full set

That is a very nice Parker. Every time I have looked at that listing for the past couple of years (or more) I have been very tempted to make an offer.

I have to agree with Dean and others; I think it's a very nice gun. My only complaint would be the corn cob checkering. If that was a one frame, it would be at home in my gun room.

I kinda like Grade-1 "corn cob" checkering.

Why does it need to go to an FFL? Obviously an antique?
